Ahah, ahah

      Mmm

[Verse 1]
Em
  They lived in peace,
Bm
  Not long ago
Em                Bm   D
  A mighty Indian tribe
C                 D
 But the winds of change
Em    D/F#         G
  Had made them realize,
         Am            D
That the promises were lies, oh

[Verse 2]
Em
  The white man's greed,
Bm
  In search of gold
Em                Bm   D
  Made the nation bleed
C                   D
 They had lost their faith
Em    D/F#            G
  And now they had to learn
          Am            G
There was no place to return
C                  D
Nowhere they could turn

[Chorus]
         Em D  G C
Cherokee,    ah  marching
       Em            D Em C G D
On the trail of tears         Cherokee,
Em D  G C
    ah  marching
       Em            D Em C G D Em
On the trail of tears

[Verse 3]
Em
  They were driven hard,
Bm
  Across the plains
Em                    Bm   D
  And walked for many moons
C                   D
 Cause the winds of change
Em    D/F#         G
  Had made them realize,
         Am            D
That the promises were lies

[Verse 4]
Em                Bm
  So much to bear,  all that pain
Em               Bm   D
  Left them in despair
C                   D
 They had lost their faith
Em    D/F#            G
  And now they had to learn
          Am            G
There was no place to return
C                  D
Nowhere they could turn

[Chorus]
         Em D  G C
Cherokee,    ah  marching
       Em            D Em C G D
On the trail of tears         Cherokee,
Em D  G C
    ah  marching
       Em             D Em C G D
On the trail of tears,  ah
Em
  Yeah
